why do ppl instantly have to name anything they can't identify as a "monster", that just goes to show the lvl of paranoia in the world today. From the teeth it is obviously a carnivor. Be the girth of the hips id say it was possibly capable of bi-pedal movements. This animal should have been taken immediatly to a research center to be identifed AND checked for cause of death. The creature being bound shows that it was drowned on purpose. So someone out there knows exactly what it was/ is. Most likely it is an animal that we are familiar with, not setting aside the idea it could be a mutation, tho unlikely. It is however most definatly a homicide victim and sould be investigated by authorities. The are penalties for cruelty to animals and i'm sure this qualifies.
I can't even believe the second picutre is real and here's why ... 1) the body is blue and not the red as shown in the first pic, which is logical from being in the sun. 2) the second picture A. has ears B. has no "fur" and the 'face' seems to be in a greater decomposition. c. They claim the surf was moving the body around yet the sand shows no indicators of being wet.
As much as I hate to say it, since I am STRONGLY opposed to Jeff Corwin, he may be right. It is probably a mammal, less likely a rodent.
The fact that the front 'paws' are bound significently decreasess the probability that it's a turtle.
One of the theories suggests that it may have come from that animal research center, if that is true and it was drowned on purpose, if I were the people that have that corpse i'd seriously be worried about WHY they drowned it and the possible risks to myself and others leaving a possibly infected carcass laying around on my property.
